But the duke persisted in being oblivious to what was passing under his eyes.

I did so, and was then put off two hours longer. Thus I spent two whole days in frequent visits to that official. His memory was most defective, as I was obliged to introduce myself on each occasion, and tell him the object of my call. A gentleman who had free access to the agent at all times hinted that he could secure early attention to my business on payment for his trouble.
